1 (Bertrand Model with sequential move) Consider a Bertrand duopoly model with two firms, Fi and Fa selling two varieties of a product. The demand curve for Fi's product is 91 (pi,P2) = 10-Pl + 0.5p2: and the demand for F's product is where p is the price charged by F). Both firms have a constant marginal cost of (a) Write down the profits of F1 and F2 as a function of prices P1 and P2. You have b) Derive...
Can someone help me with this problem? Thank you for everything! QUESTION 11 Consider an industry served by two firms, say firm 1 and firm 2, that sell identical goods The firms set prices P and P2 simultaneously to maximise profits and each firms has constant marginal costs of production. Suppose that marginal costs are c1 - C2-c, 0< c<5 and the demand faced by firm 1 0 if P1 > P2 4 50if P1 < P2 And by firm...
Consider a market in which two firms i = 1,2 produce a homogeneousproduct at constant marginal cost c= 4, facing total demand described by the linear inverse demand curve P= 16−Q. First assume that the firms compete by simultaneously choosing prices a la Bertrand. a. Suppose that F1 expects F2 to set some price p2 above the marginal cost c but below the monopoly price pm. What is F1’s best response BR1(p2) to this price p2? b. What is the...
Please answer the following question fully and in detail! Consider a Bertrand duopoly with two firms 1,2 who sell the same good. The demand curve of the good is given by Q = 30 − p if p < 30 and Q = 0 if p ≥ 20. Both firms have the same constant unit cost 5. Firms 1,2 set prices p1, p2. If firms set different prices, then the firm which sets the minimum price of the two, receives...
Please answer the following question fully and in detail! Consider a Bertrand duopoly with two firms 1,2 who sell the same good. The demand curve of the good is given by Q = 15 − p if p < 15 and Q = 0 if p ≥ 15. Both firms have the same constant unit cost 2. Firms 1,2 set prices p1, p2. If firms set different prices, then the firm which sets the minimum price of the two, receives...
Consider the following variation of the Bertrand competition model (e.g., price competition) discussed in class. Two firms, 1 and 2, are producing the same identical product. Firms compete in prices: Firm 1 choses pı, and Firm 2 choses p2. Given pı and p2, the individual demands of fhrms are: 10-pi pi 〈 p2 Pi P2 0 P1〈P2 Both firms have constant marginal costs of c. To sum up, the payoffs are as follows: 2 C 92 (P1, P2 Unlike the...
Problem 5: Product Differentiation in a Bertrand Setting. Firms 1 and 2 face the same AC = MC = 30 but sell differentiated products. The demands for firms 1 and 2 are given by D.(P1, P2) = 70 – P1 + P2 D2(P1, P2) = 70 – P2 +5 P1 The firms choose prices Pı and P2 simultaneously. a) For each firm, represent profits as a function of both prices p and p2. b) Find the best response function for...
Exercise: Consider a market in which two firms i = 1, 2 produce a homogeneous product at constant marginal cost c = 4, facing total demand described by the linear inverse demand curve P = 16 − Q. First assume that the firms compete by simultaneously choosing prices a la Bertrand. 1. Suppose that F1 expects F2 to set some price p2 above the marginal cost c but below the monopoly price p m. What is F1’s best response BR1(p2)...
Problems 3,4 and 5 Problem 3. Consider the game below. (a) There are no dominant or dominated strategies. Is there anything you can say about what players will do? Player 2 C T (2,1) (0,2) M (1,1) (1,1)| (1,0) B(0,1) (2,0) (2,2) (0,3) Player (b) Report the best responses Problem 4. Bertrand Competition With Different Costs Suppose two firms facing a demand Dip) compete by setting prices simultaneously (Bertrand Competition). Firm 1 has a constant marginal cost e and Firm...
consider the standard Bertrand model of price competition. There are two firms that produce a homogenous good with the same constant marginal cost of c. a) Suppose that the rule for splitting up cunsumers when the prices are equal assigns all consumers to firm1 when both firms charge the same price. show that (p1,p2) =(c,c) is a Nash equilibrium and that no other pair of prices is a Nash equilibrium. b) Now, we assume that the Bertrand game in part...
